About me
Hello there, I’m Ben a BACP-registered Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist and I work with adults who are struggling with things like anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and the quieter but heavier weight of trauma.
People often come to me feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck in patterns they don’t understand, or disconnected from themselves or others. Some are navigating family issues, some are in relationships that feel strained or confusing, and some are exploring what it means to live with ADHD or autism in a world that doesn’t always make space for difference.
My work is relational, human, and deeply respectful. I don’t believe in “fixing” people I believe in understanding them. Together, we make sense of what’s happening underneath the anxiety, the low confidence, the numbness or the emotional pain, and gently rebuild something stronger, more grounded, and more authentic.
I offer online counselling and telephone therapy across the UK, as well as in-person sessions, and I work in a way that is both emotionally attuned and practical, supportive, but not fluffy; real, but never harsh.
If you’re looking for counselling that’s warm, honest, and genuinely human, and you want to feel truly heard rather than analysed, we’ll probably work well together.
I’ll pop the kettle on.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

If you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, or low self-esteem, you’re not alone and you don’t have to face it on your own. Many people come to counselling feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or struggling with relationship difficulties or family issues.
I offer integrative counselling and psychotherapy for adults, working with issues such as:
- Anxiety and stress
- Depression
- Low self-confidence and self-esteem
- Trauma and PTSD
- Relationship and couples issues
- Family difficulties
- ADHD and autism
I provide online counselling, telephone therapy, and in-person sessions across the UK. My approach is relational, warm and practical, focused on helping you feel safer, more understood, and more able to live your life on your terms.
If you’re unsure whether counselling is right for you, you’re very welcome to get in touch for an informal conversation no pressure, no obligation.
